Scanner Review

PowerLook 2100XL is a one-size-fits-all scanner for graphics professionals who require high resolution and fast color scanning of any image in a small-footprint package. When we say one size fits all, we mean it! You can scan illustrations, newspapers, magazines, transparencies, color photos, and even x-rays, textiles, and negatives! This professional 800 x 1600 dpi scanner consumes minimal space on the desktop, yet allows tabloid-sized scanning. The PowerLook 2100XL features UMAX' new proprietary Mirror Moving Technology which utilizes mirrors to project images directly to the stationary CCD. UMAX' Mirror Moving Technology not only minimizes signal noise to produce higher quality, more consistent scans, it also reduces the scanner's scanning time and overall power consumption. The scanning area measures a full 12" by 17", despite the small footprint of just over 18" by 24" to fit on any desktop. The scan area can accommodate up to thirty-two 35mm slides when used with the transparency adapter. High 3.4Dmax captures fine details of shadow areas -- especially important when scanning transparencies. With auto-detect slide holders, the PowerLook 2100XL can crop and scan slides automatically for super fast scans. In addition, batch scanning increases productivity by scanning more than one image in a single pass.
